In contrast to the two previous years, production of casein is no longer profitable. And not only because of the winter season. The market is changing in favor of using skim milk to produce SMP, which, unlike casein, is more expensive. – INFAGRO
The casein season is almost over. Only a couple of dairies continue production of small amounts of casein to fulfill old contracts. The business is not inspiring, no proper price both for casein itself and for by-product butter. – INFAGRO

It seems that production of casein becomes more favorable than processing into milk powder.
Low supply of Belarusian products allows Ukrainian operators to achieve success in price negotiation with importers.
